While, in theory, the developers could wedge this in to more “legit” software, “Transmission” is an app primarily used for file sharing... and the vast majority of which is pirated files and such. So this is kind of like getting a virus/malware from downloading porn... Kind of inviting it in, so to speak.
And yes, I realize there are “legitimate” uses for Transmission and it’s ilk, but most of those uses can be accomplished through less “questionable” means.
